At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
The ASCII team owns the foundational infrastructure that powers how Netflix engineers build software, from source control and artifact management to the CI systems that run millions of builds. We’re currently building the next generation of our CI platform on GitHub Cloud and Actions. Operating at Netflix's scale means we regularly push up against the limits of the tools and platforms we rely on, and our team builds the solutions that help those products scale with us. We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead this team through an exciting period of growth and transformation, helping Netflix engineering move faster and more reliably at scale.
What you will do
- Lead and grow a team of engineers responsible for Netflix's SCM, artifact, and CI infrastructure
- Own the strategy for our build, CI, and SCM systems and drive reliability, efficiency, and scale across the build ecosystem
- Lead the development of our next generation CI platform build on Github Cloud and Github Actions, coordinating across hundreds of engineering teams while maintaining continuity and minimizing disruption
- Identify where we push the boundaries of vendor products, and drive the engineering work to build extensions, workarounds, and platform capabilities that keep those systems healthy and performant
- Partner closely with engineering teams across Netflix to understand their build and CI needs, co-designing solutions that work at Netflix's scale
- Build and maintain strong relationships with internal customers and stakeholders, guiding them through complex, multi-phase migrations with minimal disruption
What you will bring
- Demonstrated experience managing and scaling GitHub in a large engineering organization. You understand its internals, limitations, and how to operate it at scale.
- Experience leading large scale migrations, with a clear understanding of the technical and organizational challenges involved
- A history of operating at a scale that requires going beyond what vendor products offer out of the box. You will build custom solutions and partner with vendors to address gaps
- Hands-on background in CI infrastructure, including platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Buildkite, or similar
- Strong technical judgment. You can engage with engineers on architecture decisions and make tradeoffs between velocity, reliability, and cost
- Experience building trust and alignment with diverse internal stakeholders
- A bias for pragmatic outcomes. You know when to build, when to buy, and when to migrate
Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $436,000.00 - $791,000.00. This compensation range will vary based on location.

Tailor your resume to Netflix's engineering stack
Netflix engineering roles emphasize distributed systems, chaos engineering, and cloud-native architecture. Align your resume to those domains specifically. Generic software engineering resumes get filtered before they reach a recruiter who evaluates sponsorship feasibility.
Target roles that match your visa category
Netflix sponsors multiple visa types, but not every role aligns equally with each category. E-3 applicants need a specialty occupation match, while TN requires a qualifying profession. Confirm your target role's job description maps to your visa's occupational requirements before applying.
Request a sponsorship conversation early in recruiting
Netflix's recruiting process moves fast. Raise visa sponsorship before you reach the offer stage so the recruiting coordinator can loop in HR and legal. Surprises at the offer letter stage create delays that can cost you the timeline you need.
Prepare your degree equivalency documentation in advance
USCIS requires a specialty occupation degree match for H-1B petitions. If your degree is from a non-U.S. institution or in a field adjacent to your engineering role, get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before your employer files the I-129.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Engineering roles at Netflix
Netflix's engineering job board updates frequently and roles move quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter open Engineering positions at Netflix that are available to visa-sponsored candidates, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is already confirmed.
Understand how PERM affects your Green Card timeline
If Netflix pursues EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship for you, PERM labor certification is the first step and can take 12 to 18 months. Starting that conversation during onboarding, not years later, meaningfully shortens your wait for permanent residence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Netflix sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, Netflix sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering roles. The role must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which Engineering positions at Netflix consistently meet given their degree requirements in computer science, electrical engineering, or related technical fields. Netflix participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery, so timing your application cycle to the April filing window is essential.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at Netflix?
Applications go through Netflix's careers site. Engineering roles typically require a technical screen followed by multiple rounds of system design and coding interviews. You can also browse Netflix Engineering roles that include visa sponsorship through Migrate Mate, which filters positions by visa type so you can confirm sponsorship availability before you apply.
Which visa types does Netflix sponsor for Engineering roles?
Netflix sponsors H-1B, E-3 visa, TN visa, and J-1 visas for Engineering roles, along with supporting F-1 OPT and CPT for students and new graduates. For longer-term employment, Netflix also pursues EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant visa sponsorship. The right category depends on your nationality, degree, and where you are in your career.
What qualifications does Netflix look for in Engineering candidates who need sponsorship?
Netflix Engineering roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field. This matters for visa purposes too: the H-1B and E-3 both require a specialty occupation match between your degree and the role. Strong experience in distributed systems, APIs, or infrastructure is consistently valued across Netflix engineering teams.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Netflix Engineering offer?
Timeline depends on visa type. An E-3 or TN can be processed in weeks, making them faster paths for eligible nationals. H-1B petitions are cap-subject, so they follow the April lottery cycle with an October 1 start date. USCIS premium processing reduces adjudication to 15 business days once filed. For Green Card sponsorship via PERM, expect 12 to 24 months from initiation to I-140 approval.
